Amidst massive recalls on products made in China, American Metal strives to make a name for itself based on quality.
United States of America (Press Release) October 17, 2007 --
LOS ANGELES, Oct.18 -- In response to the recent inquiries of shareholders and investors, the management of American Metal & Technology, Inc. (OTC BB: AMMY) has responded to address the quality control issues that have encircled Chinese manufacturers.
With news of contaminated toothpaste, Barbie dolls painted with lead paint, and faulty tires recalled to China, how can the good manufacturers separate themselves from the bad?
"Quality control," answers American Metal & Technology's CEO Chen Gao. All of our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Some of our clients are European and North American companies who have a global brand to uphold. Our reputation for quality has helped us grow as product requirements tighten. We are able to stand out from other production facilities that will cut corners on safety and quality just to save a dime."
Saving a few cents in the short term can end up costing millions in the long run. Earlier this year New Jersey based Foreign Tire Sales was forced to recall 450,000 tires that were manufactured by Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber, a manufacturer in Eastern China. The Chinese manufacturer had left out a gum strip that keeps the tread from separating to save about 40 cents on each tire. Foreign Tire Sales estimates it will cost $200 per tire to honor the recall.
Since the issue of quality is being so heavily publicized by consumers and government agencies, the pressure is on retailers to deliver safe, high-quality products.
Mr. Gao shared an example of how a French food equipment company had searched for manufacturing partners in China for over two years. The company tried outsourcing to several contract manufacturers, but although the price for the test parts was cheap, so was the quality.
Failed attempts like these create opportunities for the American Metal sales team. The team emphasized American Metal & Technology's quality control systems and 100% product quality assurance when courting the French company. Beyond using high-end equipment and implementing rigorous training on quality inspection systems, the Company mandates inspection at four levels from start to finish on each and every product. The continuous quality inspection system ensures that all products going out the door are built to the exact standards and specifications of the client.
"The French company gave us some small test orders to start off with and we have been consistently building confidence in each other since we first started working together. On September 26th, 2007 we received a contract from this particular client worth approximately $135,000. To date, this is the ninth order we've received from this client."
Mr. Gao contends that quality is what gets them in the door, and quality is what keeps their clients around.
